-- Brit-rock blokes Brakes (or, if you're American, Brakesbrakesbrakes) are all set to drop a live album on the world. Rock Is Dodelijk will drop digitally on October 6, via FatCat. And next month, the band will tour North America with the Twilight Sad and We Were Promised Jetpacks.

-- On September 29, Thrill Jockey will release Pathetic Magic, the new EP from Baltimore post-rock art-punks Thank You. It'll feature remixes from a few fellow Baltimoreans: Dan Deacon, Lungfish guitarist Asa Osborne, and WZT Hearts' Jason Urick, the latter of whom teams up with White Williams' Joe Williams. Thank You is on tour in Europe right now.

-- On October 6, Thrill Jockey will drop another new EP, this one from Brooklyn psych-rockers White Hills. The DeadEP is vinyl-only and limited to 1000 copies. Oneida's Kid Millions plays drums.

-- Lexington, Kentucky, will become something of an experimental rock Mecca when the Boomslang festival comes to town this October 9-11. Os Mutantes, Atlas Sound, Faust, the Black Angels, Papa M, Bardo Pond, Disappears, Hair Police, Burning Star Core, Psychedelic Horseshit, Shipping News, Rachel Grimes of Rachel's, and Mark Hosler of Negativland will all take part.
